In a place some dozens of kilometers far away, in a mansion located in the heart of the Yellow maple city.
In the mansion, there were many rooms but it had only very few people. In one of the rooms in the center of the mansion.
A man was sitting in a cross-legged position and he looked as if he was a statue untouched for thousands of years.
Suddenly a glowing piece of paper floated near him. The man calmly grabbed it but after reading it his expression changed and he let out a mournful roar.
This was Theo's brother, Arnfinn who was a martial artist in the yellow maple city. He was close to forty years old but low-grade martial artists could generally live up to 200 years.
He was an elite 'third' ring martial artist who had an extremely high combat power amongst those at the same level.
He was also known as the blade of righteousness as he had struck down many evildoers and was someone that all martial artists looked up to.
His fame was something that was spread throughout the province of Pärla. It was as if this man who was once a wild hunter from a remote region had become someone else.
Even the city lord of the Yellow maple city was respectful of this man as he had a noble reputation and the common people revered him as the 'Son of the land'.
This overwhelming reputation was the result of his origin as an ordinary person who rose up the ranks and his deeds that gave him his fame.
Once a second-generation descendant from a rich family said some mocking words about him in a public place.
The result was that a huge mob of ordinary people armed with some minor weapons gathered around that family's house threatening to destroy their entire family.
In the end, Arnfinn himself came directly to the family's house to forgive the family and disperse the crowd.
But this only further bolstered Arnfinn's fame. Nowadays his place and position in the city were fixed and solidified.
Arnfinn had already married the young lady he saved that day after his fame and reputation exploded. He had also inherited the organization that recruited him in the past.
However, he had a huge amount of love and affection for his own family that had raised him. He particularly adored his youngest brother who was the youngest in their family.
His father had passed away 10 years ago and his mother was in her late years. Other family members other than his youngest brother had zero talent in martial arts furthermore they had their own families and were comfortable in living in their village.
Only his youngest brother had talent in martial arts. He had made a lot of preparations in bringing him to the city but who could have thought that the entire caravan they traveled would encounter such a huge disaster.
He felt sorrow and great anger in his heart but also silently prayed for the souls of his brother and the rest who passed away to rest in peace.
He let out a sorrowful sigh before he commanded, "Use all resources, gather all martial artists of our organization and investigate what happened that day. I am also going to personally take action."
"Put out a public notice seeking information on the same. I know that few would decline to help me given my reputation. Start as soon as possible!" he roared.
As his white robes fluttered around Arnfinn walked into his personal room. He pushed a hidden button as it revealed a box completely made of jade.
He slowly opened it to reveal a flawless silver-colored sword with many path markings.
He gently pierced his hand using the sword but shockingly it was as if the blood couldn't stain the sword in the slightest.
As he stood in the place he looked as if he was a righteous immortal brandishing his blade before going to hunt demons.
But if the person who caused his dear brother's death stood before him he would definitely slash their heads open even if that person was a demon, a saint, or even an ordinary human.
After all, what were the use of righteousness and his chivalrous heart when it comes to vengeance?
